I think a nice way to solve this stupid debate could be to ensure that the files are displayed in a STABLE order - type ahead results from the current folder first - folders first - files in the current folder before the other files...
what is MOST annoying with the current feature is that when you have spotted the file you're interested it (or quite often the folder) then - there can be other files/folder with the same name and it is impossible to know which is relevant (it should be the closest, the one from the current folder, etc). It seems to be the last used, so it changes - when you have spotted the folder or file you want to open, the time you move your pointer to open it the files are reorganized as further search has been done, and you open some other random file. How is it possible to maintain such a feature the way it currently works? The search should be done in some order, and this order should not change so rapidly while you're trying to find your result... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1164016 Title: restore type-ahead find To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1164016/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
